After quitting my job with my business partner Luke in 2016, we’ve brought 10 people on board in various capacities, including freelancer, erasmus placement, intern, apprentice, part time and of course full time employee. We’ve also fully adapted WordPress as our framework/CMS of choice, despite a lot of our staff having no prior experience with it!
